You Are A Light

Pavement · Terror Twilight [1999]

Tangled in the midst of all the trust

The way you pissed inside the brain file

Technology drives

Show me your dots now



Who was it that said the world was mainly all divorces and spare change?

Let's lethalize our slingshots and swallow propane

You are the light, the calm in the day

You are a light, the calm in the day



Senior year abroad

I ripped the pea out of the pod

In store for three months of exile in Spain

Where was the danger?



Watch out for the gypsy children in the electric dresses they're insane

I hear they live in crematoriums and smoke your remains

You are the light, the calm in the day

You are the light, the calm in the day



My drive stick, gotta love it, automatic

Oh, everybody's gotta ride in something

High life, lived, comatoased him, bring it on in

Oh, I hope it arrives by Monday

Dry ice, skid, button your slips and porridge and nippers

I have to die on Sunday

Irate kid, laundromat spinners, and let's act like winners

And oh, gotta roam 'cause I am the isolator

Gotta roam 'cause I am the isolator
